Justified Before God

The oldest book in the Bible, Job, contains one of the oldest dilemmas man faces. 

Job 25:4  How then can man be justified with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

Ecclesiastes 7:20  For there is not a just man upon earth that doeth good and sinneth not.

So what do we do? Do we live in hopelessness or turn over a new leaf? No. We must be justified before God.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Romans 5:1  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Salvation is extended to all, but only avails for those who believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a gift we receive by faith.
